I pretty much make all my programs MDI even if I only use one window. You
could display your other windows in non-modal dialogs that pop-up when
needed, but there is not much overhead in using MDI and it makes sense, to
me, because you never know where you'll want to go with the program in the
future. It's a drag to switch SDI apps to MDI after the fact.
My two Twinkies...
